I'm a CC season ticket holder and I'm always dubious of the stated attendance. From the time of the World Arena's opening in the late 90's until about 2012, yes, they were consistently at or near capacity. Since then, however, the arena is barely half full, except for games against UND or DU (and a good portion of the fans are UND fans). Regularly, there are wide swaths of empty purple seats at Tiger games and yet stated attendance always seems to be near a full house.
